That’s not what you said, you said it was in the Doctrine and Covenants, which is official scripture of the Church. Individuals have said things, but it’s not official doctrine, and people like Bruce R. McConkie have been corrected by the leadership of the Church, and his subsequent editions were changed to reflect official teachings.

Similarly, Catholics have said things about Mormons. Protestants have said things about Catholics.

Be careful about your statements, that’s all I’m asking.

...people like Bruce R. McConkie have been corrected by the leadership of the Church, and his subsequent editions were changed to reflect official teachings.

Elcid, ALL: I partially addressed this in post #41...

Ripliancum CLAIMS that McConkie was "corrected by the leadership of the Church" -- but he is simply talking about the 1958 edition of McConkie's MORMON DOCTRINE book.

What Mormons like Ripliancum -- and other naive Mormons -- are seemingly unaware of -- is that the Lds church STILL sanctions the following McConkie quote in numerous places online!!

"The church of the devil is the world; it is all the carnality and evil to which fallen man is heir; it is every unholy and wicked practice; it is every false religion, every supposed system of salvation which does not actually save and exalt man in the highest heaven of the celestial world. It is EVERY CHURCH except the true church, whether parading under a Christian or a pagan banner." (Lds "apostle" Bruce McConkie, Doctrinal New Testament Commentary, 3:551)

Exactly WHERE can you find CURRENT sanction by the Mormon Church (Lds.org) re: McConkie's Volume 3 of his Doctrinal New Testament Commentary???

(1) Its New Era February 1974 issue -- STILL disseminated worldwide via its Web site: “FYI: For Your Information,” New Era, Feb 1974, 44–46 -- published by the LDS Church: Sub-headline: 'Doctrinal New Testament Commentary Vol. 3 By Bruce R. McConkie Bookcraft, 595 pp., $7.50'
(2) Here: El Nuevo Testamento: Page 164
(3) And here: El Nuevo Testamento: Page 169
(4) And here: El Nuevo Testamento: Page 172
(5) And here: El Nuevo Testamento: Page 179
(6) And here: El Nuevo Testamento: Page 181

Note for those of you who don't speak Spanish re: sources 2-->6 above: "Tomo" = "Volume".

So much for Ripliancum's claims that McConkie's wild accusations of "EVERY CHURCH"
"except the True Church" (i.e. the Mormon church)
constituting "the church of the devil"
has somehow/somewhere been put to bed.
It hasn't...

...and we have Mormon tithers (are you one of them, Rip?) paying for this fantastical fantasy slanderous nonsense.

When are you & other Mormons going to BEGIN to own up to what your tithing $ pays for?
